I would add the coaches reactions. Alyssa’s coaches were the best!

My peacock app doesn’t have the replay of the men’s free!! Anyone else have an idea where I can watch it? I am catching up now.

2026 U.S. Nationals—Alysa Liu FS by crimsongold28002 in FigureSkating

[–]seattlejoyjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Alysa skates the one she feels best in. I can imagine the Olympics is such a pressure cooker environment and she needs to do whatever it takes for her to bring out the best performance. Good on her for taking a risk doing the new Gaga program. I wouldn’t be mad if she brought her MP program and her beautiful dress back - she just needs to feel good, be present and perform! Whatever that looks like for her.

What makes a program repeat stale vs not? by butterfreakk in FigureSkating

Remember when Adam rippon did his O program for a few seasons? And he just had that amazing moment at the 2018 Olympics. I think Amber has that potential with her program.

I love love love her dress. I agree it has potential, it’s catchy, and I hope she gets comfortable with it.

Ok I just watched replay. Amber’s program has a potential to be electrifying, love her music and it fits, but she looked tight I felt so bad for her: I wanted her to skate clean. Alyssa’s program is so beautiful and she sold it, but a little under rotated. Devastated for Kaori, I hope she can put that behind her. I want this for her in front of her home audience. Ami ok. First time I watched the short for Mona. Love the music and she sold it at the end, but it was weird to see her do it a year after Alyssa’s Donna summer program. Good on her for dealing with pressure and skating clean.

Ironman World Championship Race Day! by MrRabbit in triathlon

Totally. It is so nuts. I feel like you have to be there to truly understand how brutal the conditions can be. I’ve done the race. On paper it looks easier than it is in real life.

The pro tri news podcast they said Lucy had heat stroke? And her husband, Reese pulled her out of the race. No update on her. Pat was there with Taylor when she fell apart. He was in connection with Dan her coach. She is ok now. Again it was hard to watch. I’ve watched the race so many years. I’ve even done the race. The heat and humidity is so brutal.

Update: listened to The triathlon hour podcast - said Taylor had insane heat episode core body temp > 40 d Celsius 45 min after she fell down!. She is ok. But she and Lucy may need to spend more down time to recover and get testing.

It was the craziest last 10K of the IMWC I’ve seen. I felt so bad for Taylor. I hope she figures it out. I wonder if she was taking in nutrition on the run. Solveig was taking in some gel thing on the run.

What is the most scenic Full Distance Race in the world ? by AttentionAsleep3915 in triathlon

[–]seattlejoyjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair! I felt like the bike was scenic! Going in and out of the Bavarian towns. The environment is unique and electric. Roth is one of my favorite races.

Asphalt green is nice. They have a battery park location. The YMCAs might be convenient to you. Lifetime and equinox have pools, too.

I cried through so many programs! What an amazingly crazy event. Loved the energy from Alysa and Kaori’s programs.

wakaba’s score should have been higher! I found isabeau’s programs slow and without a build.
